DESCRIPTION
Live Scenery is a technology developed by SimWorks Studios which brings scenery to life! Easily add people, cars, flags, windsocks and other objects into your sceneries to wow your community and customers!
Live Scenery debuts with Imaginesim's WSSS Singapore Prepar3Dv4, where it helped bring the airport to life while significantly reducing the workload to create the scenery’s advanced animations. Tow trucks, buses, cars and people roam the scenery with minimal FPS impact.
So far, developers have been jumping through hoops to animate a car roaming around the airport, while making humans convincingly walk along a path is considered a feat! With SWS Live Scenery the process is greatly simplified, reducing turnout time and minimizing maintenance requirements.
DEVELOPEMENT
Live Scenery was built around the concept of reusability and minimum effort: you put in the work once, create a library of objects, route them and place them in your airport. Live Scenery will handle the dynamics such as steering and keeping the baggage trailers in line.
For the next airport, all you have to do is create any new, unique textures, that project’s routes and you’re good to go!
